Kural 751<\/p>\n
There is nothing like wealth for lending consequence
\nto an inconsequential man.
\nKural 752<\/p>\n
Those who have nothing have everyone’s contempt,
\nwhile the rich are exalted by one and all.
\nKural 753<\/p>\n
Wealth is an unfailing lamp whose light
\nreaches every imaginable land, dispelling darkness.
\nKural 754<\/p>\n
Riches acquired by mindful means, in a manner
\nthat harms no one, will bring both piety and pleasure.
\nKural 755<\/p>\n
Wealth acquired without compassion and love
\nis to be cast off, not embraced.
\nKural 756<\/p>\n
Wealth with no owner, wealth of defeated foes, wealth from
\ntax and customs–these constitute the royal revenues.
\nKural 757<\/p>\n
Compassion, which is the child of Love,
\nrequires for its care the bountiful nurse called Wealth.
\nKural 758<\/p>\n
Undertaking an enterprise with sufficient resources in hand
\nis like standing on a hilltop watching elephants fight below.
\nKural 759<\/p>\n
Make money–that is the sharpest scalpel
\nfor paring down an enemy’s pride.
\nKural 760<\/p>\n
Having acquired affluence, the acquisition of two
\nother treasures–duty and delight–is effortless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
